If TARGET_SHCOMPACT, and we have a sequence of constants like this:
A: SFmode
B: DFmode
C: SFmode
D: SFmode

B needs a word of padding only if TARGET_FMOVD is true, *and* there
has been an odd number of words since the last 64 bit (or larger)
alignment.

No, DImode constants need only 32 bit alignment in SHcompact local
constant pools, because they are actually loaded as two SImode
entities.
